Fantasia 2011: "Hello Ghost" Stills and Screening Information

"Hello Ghost" is a supernatural comedy that's part of the Cine-Asia: Fantasia's 2nd annual Korean Film Spotlight that happening during the festival. The film is the feature debut from director Kim Young-tak and stars Cha Tae-hyun of "My Sassy Girl" and "Scandal Makers" fame.

Plot Synopsis:

Raised in an orphanage and adrift as an adult, moody, withdrawn Sang-man knows what life is like when no one knows you, no one can remember your name. Sang-man is driven to suicide out of a simple sense of hopelessness. Fortunately (though he might think otherwise), he’s not very good at it. His latest attempt, of many, finds him in the hospital on the brink of death — and yanked back again. Back to his old, familiar life. Except for one detail — or rather, four of them. The staff at the hospital suspects that Sang-man’s sanity is fraying, because he keeps asking about people others cannot see. People who can float in the air, expand their own heads like balloons and shift from place to place instantly. A fat chain-smoker, a lecherous old coot, an eternally weeping woman and a mischievous young boy. And it seems that these four phantoms — for it is clear that they are spirits yet to find their way to the afterlife — have decided to inhabit Sang-man’s body, controlling his behaviour on and off. The only way Sang-man can rid himself of them, and get back to the task of taking his own life, is to fulfill the wishes that keep these four ghosts bound to the mortal plane…
